Chapter 691: Tribulation Transcendence, Comprehending Destruction

Wang Jianqiang's thoughts stirred.

The Beast Taming Ring flashed into view, and a Spirit Light flickered upon it.

A butterfly appeared.

It was none other than the Huanxin butterfly he had long since subdued.

During the time he had been cultivating, the Huanxin butterfly had already completed the condensation of its spirit body.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze paused on the Huanxin butterfly, and he said indifferently, "Take human form."

"Yes, Master."

A colorful light flashed over the Huanxin butterfly, and it transformed into a girl with colorful hair.

Immediately after, the colorful light on her body condensed, forming a colorful dress.

Taking advantage of the moment she was manifesting the colorful dress, Wang Jianqiang's eyes brightened, and he took a few extra looks before immediately returning to his dignified expression.

"Do you have a name?"

The Huanxin butterfly shook her head, "No."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "It is somewhat inconvenient to not have a name while following me from now on. Since that is the case, I shall help you pick one."

The Huanxin butterfly was startled, revealing a look of anticipation.

After Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment, he smiled faintly, "I have it."

"You are a butterfly; butterflies are connected to flowers."

"From this day forward, you shall be called Cuihua."

Upon hearing this, the Huanxin butterfly's expression froze.

A flash of hesitation crossed her beautiful, colorful eyes, and after a moment of wavering, she ultimately could not hold back and said, "Master, I just suddenly remembered that in my inherited memories, I seem to have a name."

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, "Oh? What name? Tell me."

A look of contemplation appeared on the Huanxin butterfly's face, and after a moment, she said, "Huanxin."

"Huanxin?"

Wang Jianqiang frowned, "Although this name is a bit rustic and lacks the profound meaning of Cuihua, it does point to your origins, so it can be considered passable."

"I, Wang Jianqiang, have always respected the opinions of others. Since you already have a name, there is no need to change it."

"Just continue to be called Huanxin from now on."

Hearing this, the Huanxin butterfly secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Jianqiang did not pay attention to the change in her expression and looked down at the unconscious Lu Yunqing.

Pointing at her, he said, "Huanxin, take her to a distance and ensure her safety. Next, I am going to undergo Tribulation Transcendence here."

"Yes, Master."

Huanxin nodded, picked up Lu Yunqing, and flew off into the distance. After Huanxin left.

Wang Jianqiang sat cross-legged on the spot and silently adjusted his breath for a moment.

Waiting until his state returned to its peak.

He stood up and erupted with his aura.

An aura belonging solely to the Nascent Soul Stage surged into the sky.

The floating clouds in the sky paused, and then, the entire sky suddenly turned a dark red color.

As if it had been stained with fresh blood.

An aura full of destruction instantly permeated this world.

With the place where he stood as the center, patches of blood-colored clouds rolled out and spread crazily in all directions.

At the same time.

Directly above Wang Jianqiang's head, the blood-colored Tribulation Cloud rotated rapidly, turning into a huge vortex.

He looked up.

His expression tightened.

In the center of that blood-colored vortex, there seemed to be a building!

It was just that because the blood-colored vortex was filled with countless blood-colored electric snakes, it was like an ocean of lightning.

That building was submerged in the ocean of lightning, making it somewhat unclear.

His thoughts stirred.

A golden luster flashed in his eyes.

With the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze activated.

He finally saw clearly.

It was actually an ancient palace covered in copper rust!

The moment he saw this ancient palace, he instantly felt a terrifying pressure that felt eternal and as if it were above all things.

The terrifying pressure descended.

His body sank, and the ground beneath his feet instantly shattered.

"What is this!"

"A palace has actually appeared within the Heavenly Tribulation!"

A look of shock flashed across Wang Jianqiang's face, and he hurriedly retracted his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze.

He did not dare to continue prying into that ancient palace.

Just a moment ago, the instant he saw the ancient palace clearly, that terrifying pressure had actually made even his physical body, which had reached the Six Seals level, struggle to endure it!

It was hard to imagine.

Something so terrifying would actually appear in the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

His Heavenly Tribulation, it really has undergone a mutation!

In the distance.

Huanxin had originally thought that the distance she had retreated was far enough.

But as Wang Jianqiang drew out the Heavenly Tribulation.

She realized.

She seemed to have underestimated the power of her master's Heavenly Tribulation.

Seeing that red Tribulation Cloud in the sky expanding madly at an astonishing speed.

She had no choice but to pick up Lu Yunqing again and retreat backward at the fastest speed.

While flying.

Feeling the terrifying pressure radiating from within the Tribulation Cloud, which made her unable to help but feel terrified.

A look of horror could not help but appear on her face.

This is only the very edge of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Yet the pressure is already strong to this degree.

It is hard to imagine just how strong the pressure at the center of the Heavenly Tribulation will be?

And...

The coverage and might of this Nascent Soul Tribulation are also a bit too strong, right?

Compared to this.

The tribulation she previously underwent was simply a tiny speck!

After a dozen breaths.

That blood-colored Tribulation Cloud, which was madly spreading outward, seemed to have finally reached its limit.

It stopped.

Huanxin breathed a sigh of relief and also stopped her flight.

At the center of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Directly above Wang Jianqiang's head.

As the Tribulation Cloud stopped expanding outward, that massive blood-colored vortex also expanded to its limit.

Inside the vortex.

The ancient palace hidden within the ocean of lightning still only had a blurry outline and had not yet revealed itself.

The terrifying pressure that had erupted before also did not reveal even a fraction.

This made Wang Jianqiang unable to help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Crack!

Suddenly.

Inside the vortex.

Three bolts of Dark Red Tribulation Lightning descended simultaneously.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang immediately came to his senses and was about to defend.

Following that.

A scene that surprised him occurred.

The three bolts of Tribulation Lightning did not fall toward him, but instead landed around him.

Boom!

The earth shattered.

Dense, fine snakes of electricity splashed upward.

Did it miss?

Wang Jianqiang was stunned.

Does the Heavenly Tribulation also have times when it is inaccurate?

Just as he was feeling suspicious and uncertain in his heart.

Those three patches of fine electric snakes formed by the shattered Tribulation Lightning suddenly converged rapidly toward their centers.

Only then did Wang Jianqiang realize.

Hidden within those three patches of fine electric snakes, there was actually a red humanoid figure formed by the convergence of Tribulation Lightning in each!

The surrounding fine electric snakes were not converging toward the center, but were being devoured by the red humanoid figures that the three bolts of Tribulation Lightning had transformed into.

At this moment.

Wang Jianqiang completely reacted.

The three bolts of Tribulation Lightning from just now had not missed.

The three bolts of Tribulation Lightning were merely an appearance, not the tribulation he had to undergo.

The Humanoid Tribulation Lightning hidden within the Tribulation Lightning was the true Tribulation!

Just at the moment Wang Jianqiang reacted.

The three Humanoid Tribulation Lightning rushed toward him simultaneously.

He only felt a flash of red light before his eyes, and the three Humanoid Tribulation Lightning had already appeared before him.

They launched an attack on him at the same time.

The strength of the power carried by the three Humanoid Tribulation Lightning was not great, being about the same as Wang Jianqiang's current Spiritual Power cultivation, barely reaching the level of having just formed a Nascent Soul.

Moreover, there were no complex Techniques mixed into their attacks.

It was just a simple punch thrown out.

However, the fists of the three Humanoid Tribulation Lightning seemed to secretly align with some kind of rule.

This caused their power to surge violently while they were being swung.

Each punch reached a level sufficient to heavily injure an ordinary Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator.

With three attacks of such power descending simultaneously, even if it were a Nascent Soul Stage Perfection Cultivator who had not yet manifested their will, they would have to go all out to have any chance of catching them.

For a normal Cultivator who had just formed their Nascent Soul, it could be called a certain-death situation.

Even Wang Jianqiang, if relying solely on his Spiritual Power cultivation, would not dare to say he could definitely take this Tribulation unscathed.

But he had not only cultivated Spiritual Power; he also possessed the Years Sacred Body, which had already reached the Six Seals level.

Let alone three attacks that were not strong enough to manifest Will Stage power, even if three Sixth-Order Will-Level Cultivators were to besiege him.

He would still have the confidence to kill them in a counterattack.

Facing the attacks of the three Humanoid Tribulation Lightning, he did not dodge or evade.

He let the attacks of the three Humanoid Tribulation Lightning land on his body.

Boom~

Amidst a roaring sound.

Violent energy and the Tribulation Lightning, carrying Destruction Power, submerged him.

Wang Jianqiang, bathed in the Tribulation Lightning, felt his body shake.

A domineering force spread outward.

The red lightning that had submerged him like an ocean of thunder and lightning instantly collapsed.

The moment the three Humanoid Tribulation Lightning were affected by the energy, they shattered into tiny, broken pieces of Tribulation Lightning, just like tofu being struck by a stone.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the sky full of tiny, fragmented red lightning snakes.

His heart stirred.

A suction force suddenly erupted from his body.

The large amount of tiny lightning snakes scattered all around were immediately pulled by this suction force and merged into his body.

As these broken Tribulation Lightning entered his body.

The power of thunder and lightning and the Destruction Power instantly permeated every corner of his body.

For an ordinary Cultivator, this was a completely suicidal move.

Even though these Tribulation Lightning had already been shattered and their power greatly reduced, the Destruction Power contained within them was still not to be underestimated.

And the inside of the body was the most fragile place for a Cultivator.

For an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator to swallow these Tribulation Lightning into their body was purely courting death.

But Wang Jianqiang was different.

Because of the uniqueness of the Years Sacred Body, his body could be said to be the same inside and out.

The defensive power inside his body was not the slightest bit inferior to that on his skin.

Even a full-strength strike from a Sixth-Order Will-Level Cultivator was something he could easily withstand head-on.

Although these Tribulation Lightning were not weak, they were still far from reaching the level where they could damage his physical body.

He silently sensed the power of thunder and destruction intertwined within his body.

Destruction Power represented Heavenly Punishment.

It was an extremely formidable force.

Back when he was undergoing Tribulation Transcendence, he had already coveted this kind of power.

But at that time, when he underwent the Nascent Soul Tribulation, he did not have much certainty.

He needed to go all out.

He dared not divide his attention to study the Destruction Power within this Tribulation Lightning.

Now that he had the chance to re-cultivate and undergo the Tribulation again, he finally had this opportunity.

He only roughly sensed it for a moment.

Then he discovered.

Having only absorbed the power of the broken Tribulation Lightning from one layer of the Tribulation, the Destruction Power contained within was not much.

It was very vague to perceive.

To perceive the Destruction Power, he needed to obtain more Tribulation Lightning power.

Rumble~

Just at this moment.

In the sky, another burst of thunder sounded.

Immediately following.

Six red lightning bolts struck down simultaneously.

Six humanoid lightning figures manifested and attacked Wang Jianqiang again.

"The Heavenly Tribulation has not fallen into silence."

"In other words, the three lightning bolts just now were not the three-fold Tribulation of the first stage descending together..."

"It was merely the first layer of the Tribulation!"

Wang Jianqiang could not help but raise his eyebrows.

The power of this Tribulation was simply too strong.

According to this trend.

If he did not have his physical strength as a foundation, even if he could survive the three-fold Tribulation of the first stage, he would likely be severely injured.

Relying solely on Spiritual Power cultivation to survive this Nascent Soul Tribulation was undoubtedly a pipe dream!

He shook his head.

Six mysterious Spirit Seals emerged on his body, and Golden Light erupted, sweeping out in all directions.

All six Humanoid Tribulation Lightnings exploded amidst the impact of the Golden Light.

A suction force erupted from his body once more, absorbing all the shattered Tribulation Lightning power.

The power of the Tribulation Lightning within his body suddenly became much denser.

The difficulty of comprehending the Destruction Power became much smaller.

His eyes lit up.

Sure enough, the more Tribulation Lightning he took into his body, the denser the Destruction Power within became.

Only through personal experience could his comprehension of the Destruction Power become clearer.

Boom—

Just at this moment.

Another roar sounded.

Nine bolts of lightning descended simultaneously, transforming into nine Humanoid Tribulation Lightnings.

They attacked him at the same time.

"Well come."

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

His physical strength erupted.

The tyrannical power spread in all directions like a storm.

The nine Humanoid Tribulation Lightnings all faltered at once.

Then they exploded and shattered.

He once again absorbed the shattered Tribulation Lightning power.

Afterwards, he hovered in the air, eyes slightly closed, comprehending the increasingly powerful Destruction Power filling his body.

After the third Thunder Tribulation descended.

The Heavenly Tribulation fell into a brief silence.

Not long after.

The Tribulation Lightning within the Tribulation Cloud finished brewing.

The fourth Thunder Tribulation descended.

This time.

The Tribulation Cloud sent down eighteen lightning pillars at once.

As they descended, the eighteen lightning pillars merged with one another, finally converging into two thicker lightning pillars that landed on the ground.

When the two lightning pillars vanished, two more powerful Humanoid Tribulation Lightnings appeared before Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang stopped contemplating the Destruction Power within his body and looked at those two Humanoid Tribulation Lightnings.

Each of these two Humanoid Tribulation Lightnings possessed power at the limit of the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Combined with that peculiar attack method, a Cultivator at Nascent Soul Stage Perfection who had not manifested their will would absolutely be no match!

However, for him, they could still be easily destroyed.

He waved his hand casually.

His overbearing physical strength erupted.

The two Humanoid Tribulation Lightnings crumbled.

Afterwards, he absorbed the shattered Tribulation Lightning power, and the Destruction Power permeating his body became even denser.

Then the fifth Thunder Tribulation and the sixth Thunder Tribulation descended one after another.

All were easily shattered by him and swallowed into his body.

After the sixth Thunder Tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation fell silent once again.

Wang Jianqiang's eyes were slightly closed, silently contemplating the Destruction Power within his body.

By this moment.

A glimmer of realization had already faintly appeared in his heart.

He was only a thin layer of window paper away from truly grasping the Destruction Power.

He only needed a single opportunity to comprehend it completely.

He came back to his senses and looked up at the sky.

The Heavenly Tribulation had finished brewing.

Boom!

A peal of thunder sounded, and dense pillars of light fell down.

At a glance, there were hundreds of them.

The hundreds of lightning pillars intertwined and merged with each other, finally transforming into four Humanoid Tribulation Lightnings that charged toward Wang Jianqiang.

"Humanoid Tribulation Lightnings at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage level?"

Wang Jianqiang's gaze flashed.

He threw a punch.

The four Humanoid Tribulation Lightnings at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage level shattered instantly.

He opened his mouth and inhaled.

All the shattered Tribulation Lightning power filling the sky was swallowed into his body.

A more intense Destruction Power erupted within his body, and his comprehension of the Destruction Power climbed a notch instantly.

He felt that a crack had seemingly appeared on the window paper that blocked him from comprehending the Destruction Power.

He was one step closer to truly comprehending the Destruction Power.
